When it comes to transferring viscous or shear-sensitive fluids from drums and barrels, nothing beats the reliability and control of a progressive cavity drum pump. At MultiTorque, we specialize in supplying, servicing, and maintaining these versatile pump units across Australia — ensuring our clients get precision fluid transfer without compromising safety or performance.

Whether you’re handling adhesives, oils, chemicals, or food-grade materials, our team is equipped to provide the right PC drum pump solution for your needs.

What Is a Progressive Cavity Drum Pump?

A progressive cavity drum pump is a type of positive displacement pump designed specifically to extract fluids from 200-litre drums, IBCs, and containers. It operates using a rotor-stator mechanism that moves fluid through the pump in a smooth, continuous flow — ideal for thick or abrasive materials.

Unlike centrifugal pumps, which rely on speed and turbulence, progressive cavity pumps excel in:

• Precise flow control

• Low shear pumping

• Handling of viscous or abrasive fluids

• Metered dosing applications

• Minimal foaming or pulsation

This makes them especially valuable in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, mining, oil & gas, and chemical handling.

Why Use a Progressive Cavity Pump for Drum Applications?

Standard drum pumps often struggle with heavy, non-Newtonian fluids. Progressive cavity models, on the other hand, offer powerful suction and can efficiently transfer liquids with high viscosities — even those with suspended solids or sludges.

Key advantages include:

• Ability to pump fluids up to 100,000 cP viscosity

• Suited to continuous or batch transfer

• Can reverse flow if needed

• Compact, portable, and easy to clean

• Available in electric, pneumatic, and explosion-proof options

Whether you’re pumping molasses, resins, or industrial lubricants, a progressive cavity drum pump offers control, consistency, and safety.
